Oh I pale in comparison to your efforts but I will be back on schedule this week since I am home now. I may get a snow day on Monday too which Will boost my reading
24 is done!
I have one more book that isn't on the SS because I wasn't sure I'd get it finished this week, but I am about 75% of the way through it. It doesn't fit the mini but points are points, right?

Yep! And we're still under the max so we're ok.I plan on reading more of my anthologies now because I want to try to finish at least 1 this week.

Mini-Challenge: Lust Part 2, The Bad Books List"
Ash, can you please add Elevation to your TT shelf?
Hey Namita, didn't you also finish Camel Club this week? Saw it on your Read shelf but not TT shelf and not on our planning sheet.Though too bad because it's one of the Best of's for the next 2 weeks!
Great job on the ladder guys! Just saw you got 24 books!!Next week's mini-challenge sounds much easier.
Finished my book & updated on spreadsheet

Change of plans...we ended up going out to breakfast so I won't get this extra book finished until after the deadline. It'll just end up being the first one I'll have for next week.

We have about 35 minutes to check-in and still need:ASH - please add Elevation to your TT shelf
NAMITA - please add Camel Club to your TT shelf
SUNSHINE - please add the dates read (start & finish) for As You Are. Otherwise we cannot use it.
I think everyone is done for the week but if not, please post ASAP!! We have about 19 minutes till check-in.
Okay gang stats for this past week:1847 book points
220 mini-challenge points
0 BOM points
10th out of 16 Teams
#3 for Mini-Challenges - only 2 points below 2nd, and 9 points above 4th place so SUPER CLOSE!!!! I should've read more for the ladder last night dangit!
So if we want to place for one of the "prizes", READ READ READ for the mini-challenge :) There are a ton of books on there, varying from Classics to Fantasy to Romance (even several MM). Pretty much something for everyone. At least it should because these include the books you posted when you signed up! I've linked all the books on the Rec Books tab on our planning spreadsheet.
I couldn’t get Camel Club to fit anywhere, Cathy!! Do you it can fit somewhere?
Whenever in doubt, just post here & I'll find one :)I put it under Top Shelf Contemporary.
Would you say this cover is brown?
The thumbnail makes it look black, but if you enlarge it, it looks more brown.

I think that would work for brown. Skin is a shade of brown, and the part in the mirror is brown which would make it more than 50%.
Question: So the recommended books have to be just that book? A book from the series wouldn't work??
Unfortunately no, only the books on the list qualify.
Do rereads count for books on the recommendation list?
Re-reads are allowed as long as it has been 6 months since you read it last.
Would this be Yellow or Brown Cover?
- help getting this book to fit!!
Namita wrote: "Would this be Yellow or Brown Cover? - help getting this book to fit!!"I would say first book is brown.
Second book could work for gluttony - over 600 pages.
Actually The Way of Kings is on the recommended books list so you can use it for the mini challenge instead and it would be worth more points
The number of books on that mini challenge list that I've read in the last 6 months so I can't re-read them is disappointing. :(

"Yes for blue.
Namita, don't think you read Theft of Swords yet, would highly recommend since you like some fantasy!Luckily I've only read some in the last 6 months but there are a ton I haven't yet so I have a list of 30 or so to pick from. Started The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue last night & am really enjoying it! Now need to set aside time to read the BOM since I have DQs on the 5th & haven't started the book yet.
Ok I'm all signed up for books this week. November was a lousy reading month for me - only 7 books. Will pick it up more this month and hopefully get us to finish strong

Thanks for the recs. I will give them a try next week. Hopefully my library will have it. Dang it, it has two weeks wait. I will have a look to see if there is anything else I can read.

He's a bit of an ass but I love Monty :) It does lose some of its luster later in the book but it's still a lot of fun. Should be done with it soon.
- please help me fit this book somewhere? Thanks
It works for top shelf Contemporary.

LOL! He is an ass, but he's a charming one. I love his banter...both internal and with Percy & Felicity. I could skip the whole plot line over the box and just have them interacting as they do and be happy. :)

Ashleigh, I saw you're reading And Then There Were None. Do yourself a favor and listen to Dan Stevens (from Downton Abbey) doing the audio version. :)
I think I'm going to have to make a change to my plans for this week. I just cannot get into the Red Queen at all and it's slowing my other readings down. That being said, I've been reading Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix with my daughter and we should finish it up by Sunday, so that'd be an almost 900 page book that counts for blue cover that I could put up instead. It won't count for mini, but I'll add some extra minis next week to make up for it.
Speaking of the mini...are we allowed to re-read our own recommendations for it?

Charming for sure! I've had a hard time with Felicity - I love her one minute and can't stand her the other. And when the whole plot of the box started I didn't care for it either but I guess they needed to go on an adventure, though I'm like you and could've just been happy with reading a love story between Percy and Monty.
I've been busy at work so not reading quite as much as anticipated but will be done with Ninth House, It, and Gentleman's Guide today.

I’ll finish Aristotle and Dante today. Will finish the other two on Sunday

Done!
I’m not going to get anything read this week. I’m sorry :( my chronic illnesses have been really bad and I gotta give in right now so I don’t wind up in the hospital. I’ll be in it for the win next week 💜
